College Weather Station Reports Conditions to S-E Lincoln Community "A real fine idea," remarked Bill McDonald KFOB farm di- rector commenting on UC's new weather station. "We'll be glad to help provide this service for south- east Lincoln. Every morning Bill McDonald out on Black Bird Road will broadcast the specific weather con- ditions for Union College and the surrounding area. Promptly at 6:00 a.m. Paul Gibson, student early bird, will phone Mr. McDonald and give him the weather data that | he has taken from the instruments , at 5:50 a.m. | D. W. Holbrook, director of col- lege relations, stated, "This is an- other move in our work of improv- ing the image of Union College to our community; besides giving the students practical experience in handling meteorological equipment. Also the weather station will have a permanent space in the lower right hand corner of this office's bulletin board." Tho weather station has been ASB Finances Voted Under Single Head Reserve Funds Slated For Integration The financial difficulties of the ASB publications have necessitated study of the present and future budgets," according to ASB presi- dent, Gary Bogle. The first action of the Student Council was an integration of the $2,000 Clock Tower, the $400 . Coklen Cords, and -$168 ASB re- serve funds. Previously, each organization, working under its own budget, had assumed its own profit and loss. Tho deficit spending of the Golden Cords has depleted its reserve; and thus, there is not enough money available for the 1963-64 book. Last spring's "Project $3,000" for the student center enlargement and athletic field lights was insuf- ficient to cover the project, so the ASB shows a financial deficit. Nil Professor Selected As Recognition Speaker The Class of '64 will be publicly acknowledged for the first time at the Friday convocation Dec. 6, 1963. All 105 robed seniors and the faculty in full academic dress will participate in the ceremony which will be at 9:20 a.m. in the college gymnasium. Dr. Walter K. Beggs, dean of the teachers college at the graduate school of the University of Ne- braska, will address the students at this year's annual Senior Recog- nition. The title of his presentation will be "This is Your World." Eighteen senior nursing majors will be arriving from the Denver campus to join their classmates in tho event. There will be 36 students grad- uating with B.A. degrees this com- i n g s p r i n g—plus three summer graduates, 35 students with B.S. degrees—plus two summer gradu- ates, 16 with a B.S. in nursing- plus two summer graduates, and eight with B.A.'s in religion—plus three summer graduates. Looking into the future, tenta- tive adjustments have been pro- posed. A $22,000 combined ASB budget is presently planned to be brought before the college board for approval. The individual ap- propriations of the proposed bud- get are $10,000 for the Golden Cords, $7,200 for the Clock Tower, $4,000 for the ASB, $1,000 for the Peanut Hill Populace, and $3,000 as an emergency reserve. Financial Committee Past spending which exceeded budget allotments showed a need for updating the financial policies. "The committee which has been formed to study the present finan- cial situation will probably evolve into an official financial committee to act as a check and balance sys- tem for ASB finances," stated Kent Seltman, Clock Tower editor. At present the committee includes the editors, president, and financial sponsors of the ASB publications, and tho president and sponsor of the ASB. Price Squeeze Printing costs for the campus publications have risen, while the ASB income has remained $15 per student for about 6 years. For example: "The cost of pub- lishing the Golden Cords yearbook has recently been about $7.25 per copy, whereas the cost to the stu- dent was $6.00. This deficit of $1.25 must be relieved somewhere," related Richard Booker, Golden Cords president. To decrease the gap that this loss has caused, the Student Coun- cil has discussed an extra fee of ono dollar which would be put on each student's bill this sohool year. Boglo explained the $3,000 re- servo fund as a cushion to absorb bad accounts and unpredictable miscellaneous expenses, thus it will not be specifically budgeted. official since August 25, 1963, when an agreement was signed with the US Weather Bureau. Reports are sent to the Bureau and are analyzed and compared with previous and other current reports by a com- puter. The weather sensors are located on and in the science building and behind the Biology's greenhouse at 48th and Prescott Streets. The hygrometer (rain gauge) is behind the greenhouse. This gauge measures rain, snow and all other types of precipitation. The anemometer (wind gauge) is on top of the science building while its meter for reading air speed and direction is inside K. D. Spaulding's office. A thermometer is stationed on the north side of the science build- ing and like the wind gauge, has its readings taken in Spaulding's office. Tho barometer for measuring barometric pressure is inside the physics lab. This is perhaps the most important of the instruments, for general weather conditions can be predicted by this one reading. Attorneys Discuss SDA Law School Attention was centered on the legal profession in a discussion sponsored by the business club Nov. 18, according to Robert E. Firth, professor of business admin- istration at Union College. The big question, according to Don Barksdale, president of the business club, was "Is there a pos- sibility of a denominational law school?" Firth says that Loma Linda Uni- versity is pushing the idea. LLU applied to the General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists for a charter to create a school of law. This request was denied, but a committee was set up to study the possibilities. It would cost $200,000 at the minimum to get the curriculum in- to operation for the first year. Be- sides that there are the problems of picking faculty and the expense of keeping an up-to-date library in this field. "No final announce- ments or suggestions have been made by the General Conference committee," said Firth at inter- view. Local lawyers Asa Christensen and Russell Strom were plied with other questions about the legal pro- fession. (Continued to page 2, col. 1) Amateur Hour Set Dec. 7 Big Nite Student talent will once again be on display come Dec. 7. Under the direction of the Pro- gram Productions Committee the yearly Amateur Hour will consist of twelve numbers. Tho decorations this year will feature a different backdrop for each number. Each prop will coin- cide in some way with the number being given. There will be no em- cee this year but a script will be read between each number to tie tho program together. Those singing vocal solos will be: Bob Bird, Bick Wickstrom, and Loretta Koch. A male quartet of Elliott Fortner, Herman Harp, Jim Stovens, and Marvin Ponder will also sing. Instrumental numbers will be: Harry Bennett on the clarinet, Roger Anderson will play the vio- lin, Doris Babcock will perform on the organ, Merrill Barnhart will play a piano solo, Barbara Favo- rito will play a trumpet solo and there will be brass sextet number. A trumpet trio of Bob Anderson, Clayton Bliss, and Jack Irvine will perform with ono or two numbers from the Denver campus rounding out the program. There will be four judges that will decide the worth of each num- ber. None of the judges will be from the Union College Campus. Tho members of the committee are chairman, Linda Seltman; Judy Thayer, Jan Rowland, Grace Kah- ler, Larry Thayer, Fred Schultz and Mr. William Rankin, sponsor. Brother of Presidential Aid Speaks UC Reporters Meet Gov. At Private Conference Governor Frank B. Morrison is holding a press conference Dec. 5 for the Union College newswriting class. Each of the twenty-two news- writing students will submit his write-up of the conference to Bruce A. Ronk, instructor in English, who after picking the best one will sub- mit it to the Lincoln Journal news- paper. Procuring the appointment was much easier than it appeared it would be. "I was at the State House for other b u s i n e s s," informed Ronk, "and while there I contacted the Governor's secretary about hav- ing such a conference. She graci- ously agreed, opened her book and made the appointment." Golfer, President Bieber shakes with ASB sponsor Dr. Evord, over the birthday clubs. Gary Bogle, ASB president (center) and Carlton Dyer look on. FORE ! ! ! ! ASB Teed off at President's Birthday With Sam Snead Blue Ridge Clubs Union College President, David J. Bieber got more than he bar- gained for on his 53rd birthday as ho received cart, clubs, and con- gratulations from wife, family, stu- dents, and faculty at Friday morn- ing's chapel, Nov. 15. First off, Gary Bogle, associated student body president, presented Bieber with a putter. As the Union College administrator turned to be seated after his remarks, he dis- covered the entire set of "Sam- Snead" Blue Bidge clubs by Wil- son behind him on the cart given him by Mrs. Bieber and their son, Don's family. "Isn't this a dandy," was a re- mark made by Bieber when looking tho set over with a small group clustered around. "Can it be that so great a leader can be swept away like dust before a sudden gust of wind?" asked a personal friend of the late President John Fitzgerald Kennedy. Lincoln Attorney Philip C. Sorensen, whose brother served as a special counsel to John Kennedy, the Senator and President, presented a eulogy at the memorial chapel service last Monday in the College View Church. UC President D. J. Bieber pre- sented a special tribute to John F. Kennedy, the educator. Bieber spoke of him as a "scholar of the highest type who conducted an earnest and continual attempt to improve education." Ask not what your nation can do for you, but what you can do for your nation," stated Bieber, paraphrasing Kennedy's famous in- augural challenge. Bieber went on to say, "He did all and gave all— Now he rests—" The special Kennedy memorial service included scripture reading, Psalm 93, by L. W. Welch, dean of student affairs; a prayer for these times by M. W. Deming, Col- lege View pastor; two se- lections by the Golden Chords Chorale; a violin solo, "Medita- tion," by Melvin Johnson, instruc- tor in music; and introduction of the speaker by Federal Judge Robert Van Pelt. Ted Sorensen, older brother of the chapel speaker, worked for 10 years as Kennedy's personal advi- sor. He wrote speeches for the President, initiated consideration of Presidential programs, and di- rected a corp of subordinate co- ul visors. Philip C. Sorensen graduated in 1959 from the University of Ne- braska law school at the head of his class. He edited the Nebraska Law Review. His late father, who practiced law in Lincoln for many years was a political advisor to Nebraska's late Senator Norris. Tho Lincoln attorney, who was in Washington, D. C., with his bro- ther at the time of President Ken- nedy's death, proceeded to pay tribute to the late President by pointing out the three personal qualities John F. Kennedy brought with him into the Presidency: 1. Confidence and optimism in the greatness of America. 2. Love of the political fray and respect for opponents. 3. An inquiring mind. "We have survived not because of our wealth but because our ideas were more wise and compel- ling and enduring. What we need now is a constant flow of new ide- as," Sorensen pointed out. Sorensen observed that "of all tho people who moum this dav, none mourn more deeply than the American Negro who saw in this man a champion of their yet un- achieved rights." The President realized that until tho liberties of all could be secured, the liberties of a few would never be assured. Sorensen concluded by saying that either we must rise to meet the challenge of the day or our nation would be gone. When asked how he felt, Presi- dent Bieber said to interviewers, "I am speechless, but I will say that I am tremendously impressed with the spirit that stands behind tho gift." According to Boglo, this is not a tradition; but it is the first time that ho knows of for students and fac- ulty to do this. Bieber asked Robert Britain, dean of men, to drop a hint to Mrs. Bie- ber that her husband wanted < golf cart for his birthday, accord- ing to Bogle. Thus, the idea came about, because upon investigation it was found that his clubs were worn. So students and faculty worked together for a new set. Editor's note: Wo wish to ex- press a composite voice of stu- dent appreciation to the admin- istration of Union College for its excellent and composed action in the shadow of this national trag- edy. The Monday service was an especially appropriate and rever- ent recognition to o great leader of America. 553 CLOCK TOWER November 14, 1963 UC Health Week December 8-14 Health Week is coming to Union College December 8-14 by way of joint-worship, exercising, posters, talks, and surveys being prepared by tho Health and Recreation Com- mittee. Health Week preparations and activities are being hiehded by Paul Gnadt, chairman of the Health and Recreation committee; Miss Mary Mooy, faculty sponsor; and 6 committee members: Linda An- derson, Roetta Comelson, Ginge- Dittberner, Jac Colon, Ed Connell and Steve Ericson. They have conducted a survey ot 50 men and 50 women about their health habits. Results show a large deficiency of sleep, much eating between meals, and a num- ber of intemperate tendencies. The theme for Health Week will be "Pathway to Health." Someone has said, "The biggest room in the world is the room for improve- ment." Three talks concerning 3 path- ways will be given by students at worship periods. Monday's path- way, "Rest and Cleanliness" will be presented by Kit Watts and John Kearnes at their respective dormi- tories. Similarly on Tuesday the "Nutrition" pathway will be dis- cussed by Beverly Keith and Loren Greenman, and on Wednesday the "Exercise" pathway will be given by Joan Kirkegaard and Paul Gnadt. Talks in the men's dorm will all be given in the evening while the women will give their talks in the morning except for Tuesday when it will be in the evening. Joint worship with the group exercises will be conducted in the gym Thursday evening with slacks and jeans being the appropriate clothing. Convocation Friday, Dec. 13, will feature a skit. Law School Discussion (Continued from p. 1 col. 4) Some of the points of discussion were: —Requirements for getting into law school. Some schools require a Bachelor of Science degree while others require the Bachelor of Arts. The recommended courses for pre- law are Business, Economics, and English. Applicants are screened with tests. According to the min- utes taken at the discussion, it was said that law school is not so hard to enter but staying there is the problem. A ratio of 1/3 to 1/2 of freshmen can fail. —Opportunities of the legal pro- fession in the denomination. It is forseeable that union conferences may hire at least one full-time lawyer and local conferences may have a part-time one. As yet this need has not arisen in very many conferences. —Branches of law. The profession of law has become so complicated that one must specialize in certain fields, some of which are tax work, probate work, and public utility laws. The overall work of the lawyer is to understand and help people who need him. According to Strom and Christ- ensen not more than 1% of a law- yer's business ever gets into court.

Outdated Calf Barn Tugged To Updated Grounds Shop Two Wasemiller Construction Company caterpillars tightened the cables that pulled the old Union College Dairy calf bam about 400 feet Northwest to its new foun- dation. The relocated building is to be used for grounds department shop and the old hayloft is reserved for college storage. Mr. Joshua Turner, grounds de- partment director of Union Col- lege, said, "It was quite a feat to move this large building." The building is about thirty feet high and sixty-four feet long by forty feet wide. UC's Faculty Meets Church Colleges President David J. Bieber and nine faculty members represented Union College at the annual meet- ing of the Nebraska Association of Church Colleges last week. The meeting was held Nov. 22, at Duchesne College in Omaha. The association discussed the mutual problems pertaining t o church related colleges. Many of the church related col- leges in Nebraska have been forced to close their doors in recent years even though total enrollment in the state has increased. President Bieber is treasurer of the association this year.

"I didn't think they could do it. I wondered if the building would hold together." Mr. Turner had a crew of men working on the building for a week preparing it for moving. It was reinforced structually along with new base plates under the base of the walls. Eight light poles were employed for base support as well as rollers. Professors Study SDA World Schools Seventh-day Adventist education around the world was analyzed by three adept faculty observers at the second Faculty Seminar of this year, Nov. 21. Miss Pearl Hall, associate pro- fessor of romance languages, Rene Evard, associate professor of chem- istry, and Dale Hepker, instructor in English, showed slides while they related experiences and observa- tions made on their extensive trav- els. Following the slides Bruce A. Ronk, instructor in English, mod- erated a panel which consisted of Miss Hall, Evard, and Hepker. The panel debated both the superior and inferior points of Adventist ed- ucation in odicr countries as com- pared to the U.S. The need for a more qualified teaching staff in foreign schools was one main ob- servation. Hepker noticed on his eight tours to Mexico the dedication dis- played by students and faculty both spiritually and educationally. Students Share Thanks With 50 Food Baskets Union's Missionary Volunteers showed thanks and love of fellow men last Friday evening by com- pletely filling three cornucopias with good things to make a happier Thanksgiving for many Lincolnites. The Friday night offering of food valued at $350 weighed down the huge horn of plenty on the church platform constructed by Bob Bird and Loren Cooper. This was almost one-and-a-half times what was giv- en last year. Many students, church members, and Pathfinders did not bring canned food but instead gave cash amounting to $50 for fresh fruits and vegetables. According to I. J. Russell, pro- gram director, at least 50 food bas- kets were made for the MV Soci- ty's friends in need in this area. The Pathfinders, who gathered most of their canned food on Hal- loween, helpod college volunteers deliver the baskets on Monday just before Thanksgiving. As a part of the program worked out by Sharon Chatfield, the audi- ence was given an opportunity to write thank you notes to fellow students who had influenced them by living the Golden Rule. These were placed in a smaller cornucopia as part of the offering and were delivered later by the project plan- ners. "This is something that should be continued," emphasized I. J. Russell, MV Community Service leader. "Even if no food and no money had been given the 'Horn of Plenty' program would have been a success. I believe these 500 some notes will result in much more courtesy and genuine bro- therly love at Union for the re- mainder of the school year," he commented. Tho "Harvest House," a store set up in the church annex for students who wished the canned goods, sugar, and other food stuffs put on their bills, was completely sold out by Friday afternoon. "We receive by giving" was clearly the belief of many during this Thanksgiving season, and Union College students seem de- termined to receive more and more every year. Home for the Holidays Means Happy Hearts and Happy Minds by Kit Watts Your little world is about to burst. The strained balloon has been pumped up and up with staggjering assignments, quizzes, outside reading, term papers—until tho tension seems unbearable. Now —whoosh—it's Thanksgiving Vaca- tion and you face four and a half days away from college. True, it's a breather, or perhaps an escape. Tho question is obvious: Is this Thanksgiving—a delightful vacuum at mid-term when you can legiti- mately lapse into a semi-stupor of food and sleep? What is, really, the American heritage grown within tho tradition of Thanksgiving? In 1620 the Mayflower docked at Plymouth Rock with one hun- dred and one settlers. They were not mere explorers or adventurers, but settlers, men, women, and children disembarking in the New World to make a home. Chances were great and so were the fatali- See The Beautiful 64 PLYMOUTH Your Progressive Plymouth-Valiant Sales and Service Center in College View 7 Years GOTFREDSON MOTORS KUEHL'S Midwest Health Food Distr.

The seminar was closed by an open discussion of world Seventh-day Adventist ed- ucation. This is the third year that Fac- ulty Seminar has been an active or- ganization. According to Warren F. Murdoch, assistant professor o f chemistry, "the purpose of the or- ganization is to improve the teachers and teaching at Union College." Ho went on to say diat "one of the interesting theories of educators is that tho student should have a very broad and liberal education and yet no one teacher would be qual- ified to teach such a broad, liberal arts type, of education, so the lib- eral arts staff consists of many high- ly specialized people." New Organ Speakers Permanent in Gym A project of the music depart- ment for four years has finally be- come a reality according to Melvin I S. Hill, professor of music. New permanent organ speakers were installed in the auditorium by Schmoller and Mueller Piano Co. Up to this time for all programs in the auditorium involving organ music, an organ with box speakers- has been moved into the gym for the program. Hill says that these box speakers have never been adequate for the size of the auditorium. The new system has 16 eight-inch speakers and 4 sixteen-inch speakers with three amplifiers. Each amplifier has a 40 volt power where the box speakers had only 15. Now the Conn console organ from Engel Hall will be the only item moved back and forth. It will be connected with the amplifiers so there will be adequate sound. According to Hill the music de- partment is very happy with this achievement, and the debut for the speakers was the faculty recital, Nov. 24.

The winter of cold, disease, and hunger put nearly half the oolony in their graves. But these people were not on an expedition for fortune who would now lose morale and tum back to native shores. These were people, families, making a home. And th;s fostered a hope that held on and prayed and worked. A good harvest was reaped, and in grate- fulness for food and family, a day of thanks was observed. Tho Bostonian colonists had crop failures in 1631. The growing sea- son was over and supplies were meager. But men, women, and children worked together bravelv and hopefully. While husbands hunted the scarce game, women, taught by Indians, learned to grind acorns for flour to make bread, and the children pried the frozen ground for clams and mussels. But snow and time were against them. Daily rations were down to five kernels of com apiece. Banding together the colonists pro- claimed a fast—obviously not to abstain from food—but for prayer. To their joy that very day a ship laden with provisions from Eng- land sailed into the harbor. The family ties had held them together and now the fast day became feast day of gratitude. Thirteen years later the Dutch colony proclaimed a Thanksgiving day. Thus they celebrated the re- union of families with the safe re- turn of their soldiers after a battle with the Connecticut Indians. But Thanksgiving as an annual holiday was first conceived 120 years later. President Lincoln, in 1864, issued the proclamation for a yearly observance on the fourth Thursday of November. And so we find a custom established—and a tradition that reaches down to Union College in 1963 with a four- and-a-half-dav vacation. How are you celebrating the heritage of your country so wrap- ped in this holiday? Can there still pulso through every American's heart, even through yours, genuine thanks for temporal blessings, and more important, thanks for youi home—the source of courage and hope of this country? If so, be sure to tell the family—tomorrow. Paul's (ftcq) For Happy Motoring 48th & Pioneer Atlas Products— Firestone, Goodyear, Gosdrich tirss.

On Sab- bath it broadcasts the church serv- ice and uninterrupted music throughout the afternoon. Lonnie Leui, student director of programming, reports, "This year we will be presenting more light music and more religious music—we will soon be receiving 40 new religious records. Our em- phasis," he continued, "will also be to report more of the high- lights on campus." Arthur Hauck, associate profes- sor of speech, says, "We hope to oventually go into educational FM. Four of our sister colleges are now broadcasting FM. Some of our greatest needs now are better equipment and a larger working budget. Hauck continued, "In order to boost reception in Rees Hall, we are installing a satellite transmitter there. If it proves successful, we will install one in the men's dorm. Practical Help Gained In Homiletics Class A "new and different experience" is how Elder Bresee described a supplement to the homiletic course in an interview recendy. Homiletics, or the planning and presentation of sermons, is being taught with a new approach by Elder Bresee, assistant professor of religion. Junior theology students taking this course preach in class every two weeks. During this time the students also construct a sermon in class which is presented by Elder Bresee in the newly conceived Min- isterial Association Church. The church meets every Sabbath morning in the South Hall chapel with the members of the Homiletic class in charge. Elder Bresee stated that in order to avoid conflict the boys attend the early services in the College View Church. The value of the course is de- rived from the numerous class pre- sentations and also from hearing the sermons which are prepared jointly each week. Eklar Bresee holds a newly formed office at the college, that of director of ministerial training. Speaking of the new program under way, Elder Bresee said, "What we are trying here is a new and dif- ferent experience. As far as I know no one else is doing it this way." Tho involvement of all the re- ligion and theology majors in the area of student preaching can be seen by citing statistics. Last week the student preachers covered 1774 miles while preaching in thirteen churches in the surrounding Ne- braska and Iowa territory. The freshman and sophomore students desiring to preach are assigned churches on a weekly basis by the placement committee. Tho seniors receive permanent as- signments of churches for an entire semester. The juniors specialize in applied theology so they are better equipped to accept permanent as- signments as seniors. Fear that the Clock Tower might be obliterated when a new admin- istration building is constructed has led the Alumni Association to choose for their project the raising of money for the preservation of the Clock Tower. Dr. Walter A. Howe initiated this project two years ago when he was association president. For each of the past two years, $4,000 has been pledged. The goal is $20,000 in five years. "We hope to raise another $4,000 this year by alumni gifts," stated Mrs. Virginia Ogden, secretary of the Alumni Association. "We are trying to get 100 per cent partici- pation. If every alumnus will give something, large or small," Mrs. Ogden explained, "there will be sufficient funds to reach the $4,000 goal and also to support the Alumni Association including the printing of the Alumnus." "Unionites on Parade" is a set of pictures of UC alumni being pre- pared for viewing at alumni meet- ings this year, revealed Mrs. Og- den. The pictures for the alumni have been chosen from different walks of life: a housewife, a minis- ter, a college president, a General Conference worker and others. Some of the alumni are shown with their families. These pictures have been collect- ed through the Alumni office. Wil- liam Rankin, instructor in speech, is writing a script to go with them. "Unionites on Parade" is a 30- minuto program available to the 33 chapters of the association. Again this year UC plans to send a representative to meet with as many as possible of the association chapters. Elder Hagen hopes to meet with several California chap- ters early in 1964. UC's Concert Winds Sharpen Appetites "Tulsa, a Symphony Portrait in Oil," was previewed by Union Col- lego students and faculty in con- vocation Nov. 23. The symphony, which has 5 movements, depicts the settling of the land and the discovery of oil in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Playing portions of each move- ment the Union College Concert Winds' motive was to "Whet peo- ple's appetites for the February concert when the entire symphony will be played," according to Dr. Melvin Hill, associate professor of Also on the program were "Hoist 1st Suit in E flat," "Espana Waltz," "Block M March," "Were You There," and "Brass Buttons." The last selection the band played was their theme "Cheerio" whose tune the band hums and whistles at the close of each concert Hill said. Playing in the band this year are 53 UC students, a 10 per cent increase over last year. Dr. Hill believes that this group reads music better than any band ho has ever directed. A strong French horn section and a good percussion section, with Ron Jen- sen a UC Junior leading out, also helps in making the band a good one.

For it belongs to the man everyone knows affectionately as "Josh Turner." J. C. Turner Jobs Available for SDA Social Workers "Thirteen positions for social workers in the Seventh-day Advent- ist denomination are open at the present time. There are no qualified persons to fill them," according to Dale Hardin, social worker from Omaha. Ho recently spoke to the classes in Introduction to Social Work and Criminology. "The newly formed Association of Adventist Social Workers hopes to serve as a clearing house for in- formation of opportunities in de- nominational employment, and for available personnel," stated Hardin. Tho association headquarters are in New York city. One of the major purposes of the association will be to interpret pro- fessional social work to students in Seventh-day Adventist schools and colleges. Dale Hardin was graduated from Union College in 1959 and received his Master's degree in social work from the University of Nebraska in 1961. He is now a parole officer with tho County Welfare department in Omaha. Turner attributes his love for flowers to his mother "who was a real gardener." And the Union Col- lege campus has been a real trib- uto to her, as well as the pride of each student who has bent to note a new rosebud, or paused in amaze- ment at autumn's hardy and color ful variety of flowers. A history and Spanish teacher by trade, Mr. Turner took his first academy assignment at Campion buttressed with a diploma from Union College. But scholarship had by no means dulled his sensibility for tho aesthetic. Ho found Campion's campus fenced off for a cow pasture. It seemed incredible. "I took the cows out IMMEDIATELY," Turner commented indignantly— and then as though re-invisioning the trans formation said restfully, "and then we began to beautify the campus!" Threo years later he left a mon- umental change in the scenery at Campion as he and Mrs. Turner ac- cepted a call to Venezuela. There they found the Spanish book was helpful, but needing revisions. And typical of their spirit they adjusted and learned, and served. Tho Turners also spent eight years affiliated with Southwestern Junior College. And though Miss- ouri was the home state Turner says, "I became naturalized—and now I call Texas 1iome' too." Finally in 1947 the Turners, now bearers of Golden Cords, returned to their alma mater. Mr. Turner taught Bible in Union College A- cademy, and served as farm man- ager. Then in 1955 "I retired—but I didn't," he smiles. Indeed, since then he has spent tireless hours with his workers to make a cam- pus worthy of enjoyment and re- spect for all. Reflecting happily on his years at Union, Mr. Turner remarked, "But wo were in third heaven when the students dedicated the 1958 Gold- en Cords to us." And indeed the students of 1963 want you, Mr. Turner, to know that wo t(x> say "thanks a lot" for mak- ing our college beautiful, for being a real friend, and for using your refreshing sense of humor to make somo of those chapel periods fun, bearable and worthwhile.

Grappling with the reality that John F. Kennedy has been assassinated, our nation must now re-group it- self (with renewed hope) behind the 36th president of this country, Lyndon B. Johnson. Here in Lincoln, as well as across this nation, personal problems were momentarily forgotten in tho wake of the tragic calamity. The Big 8 title clash between Nebraska and Oklahoma, which had generated un-heralded enthusiasm in this city, suddenly seemed trivial in the silence of shock that gripped the entire free world. The question everyone is asking is "Why"? We as Ameri- cans, must realize there can never be any reason or explanation for such an act as this, for it is simply beyond the terms of hu- man understanding. Instead, we should give reality a long, hard look, and try to discern just where we, as Americans stand. Here at Union College, we, as Seventh-day Adventist Christians, should take account of ourselves, and determine just where WE stand. America, as well as Seventh-day Adventism, could well be summed up in one word—complacency. At a time when improved international relationships appeared to be flourishing and cold war tensions lessening, a dreadfully twisted mind, pulled the trigger of a rifle, and Mrs. Jacqueline Kennedy clutched the limp, blood covered head of her husband and cried, "Oh, No!"
